Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1532: Chapter 468 Divine Artifact [Sun Wheel]_2 Chapter 1532: Chapter 468 Divine Artifact [Sun Wheel]_2 …

Leonard Churchill felt a pang of emotion as he considered it. With such combat power, all the Trialists combined couldn’t beat it.

At the same time, he was very curious about what the “behind-the-scenes orchestrator” planned to do.

It now seemed most likely that they intended to use the power of the Sect of Light.

But how could an Outer God Sect that had been obliterated tens of thousands of years ago, with so little remaining, manage…

As Leonard thought further, a thread of logic suddenly connected in his mind, and a lightbulb went off.

He realized something, “Eh, could it be that those folks are the remnants of the Sect of Light?”

The orchestrator was willing to pay such a great price to cause trouble in this trial.

There was only one chance, and once out, the scheme would surely be exposed.

So it was not to say they were 100 percent confident, but at least they were very confident they could achieve their goal.

But after all, this is an S-tier plot; who would dare say they could guarantee a pass?

The only possibility was that they already knew what would happen in this part of the story.

And they could easily utilize some kind of super strong narrative power.

Thinking this way, the explanation of “remnants of the Sect of Light” seemed most plausible.

And the motive fits too.

Altranc civilization was the predecessor of the Ariel Empire, and it was most logical for the remnants of the former dynasty to conflict with this one.

Of course, the current Ariel Empire had a Divine-Level Giant Dragon.

For those remnants to restore the old order, there was another prerequisite… that the God of the Altranc civilization wasn’t dead?

At this realization, Leonard’s train of thought suddenly broadened.

A huge conspiracy loomed before him.

He had a feeling he’d guessed the root of the recent turmoil in the Southern Continent.

…

Upon the arrival of Madam Mister, the Vampire servants immediately bowed in reverence.

The Countess stood proud and aloof before her maidservants: “How is the sacrifice coming along?”

The leading muscular Vampire replied, “Master, it is completed. The Divinity of Light within her has been tainted. We only need the final step of the sacrifice, and the great Seadinth will descend…”

Hearing this, Leonard thought to himself, so it’s just as he suspected.

No matter the era, all these Outer God Followers think about is reviving the God they are loyal to.

Such a plot held no novelty.

Leonard had guessed the whole process right from the start.

Following the direction the Vampires pointed to, he only now saw through the mist above the blood pool, a stone altar.

On the altar lay a stripped blonde girl.

But miraculously, even in such a profoundly contaminated blood pool, she still radiated a sacred golden light.

And with just one glance, Enlightenment occurred.

“B-Tier Hidden Quest Completed: Find the Missing Light Saintess. The Saintess of the Western Holy See of the Sect of Light has disappeared, only to be kidnapped by Vampires to become a vessel for the Outer God…”

Leonard looked at the Enlightenment, feeling an inexplicable amusement.

Sure enough, following the main boss and casually encountering an NPC could trigger a B-Tier hidden quest.

As for that so-called Saintess, he knew better than anyone that she was a “God Descending Vessel.”

A resurrected God needed a vessel that could bear its Divine Power.

But ordinary people wouldn’t do.

A person meant to be the vessel for a God needed to be quite special and preferably capable of wielding Divine Power.

Leonard had encountered such beings more than once, like the several “God Descending Vessels” of the Silver Moon Sect.

The girl lying on the stone altar now, being a Saintess of the Sect of Light, obviously met all the necessary conditions.

Moreover, Leonard instantly knew the true purpose behind why Madam Mister brought him here.

It was not for some reward or pleasure.

Rather,
he was the backup “God Descending Vessel” she had selected.

Leonard’s body was set up to have full elemental resistance and affinity, and he was a pure, untouched male.

Though he was less suitable than the Saintess, as a backup, he was certainly enough.

Madam Mister didn’t mince her words, speaking directly to Leonard, “Nikola, stay here. When the sacrifice at the manor above begins, the Sealed Divine Power will descend from its seals. At that moment, we all shall receive the blood baptism of dear Seyadis, and you, perhaps, will gain the favor of the Great God…”

“That would be my honor.”

Leonard showed fervent enthusiasm.

This was not completely an act. It was a result of bloodline suppression, as high-level Vampires could control everything about their kin.

…

Leonard had no knowledge of the situation at the manor above.

But without surprises, it should turn into a bloodbath.

The sacrifice required a large quantity of fresh blood, and those who entered the manor had been fated to die from the start.

In an S-tier storyline, once involved, the probability of death was extremely high.

Leonard didn’t dwell on the thought.

His few teammates were not weak. If anyone was to survive in the end, their chances were higher.

Moreover, there was a mysterious “Jessica” involved, making Leonard feel there were even more variables in play.

However, after scanning the surroundings, he was a bit surprised–was it only them participating in the storyline? Where were the people from the Red Dragon Royal Family?

Since they had triggered this S-tier storyline, their complete absence seemed illogical.

But with such strong Vampires underneath the ground, where could they even begin?

Leonard’s mind was busy deducing the subsequent development of the plot.

But then, what he was thinking about arrived.

…

Suddenly, without warning, a Dark Gold card bearing the spade 2 on the front and a mysterious Nine-point Star Array on the back appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.

“Eh… Curse God Card?”

Leonard recognized the card instantly.

This was one of the legendary fifty-two Curse God Cards!
